SERIOUS CHARGE. Alleged to Have Attempted Assualt on Little QirL?Is in Jafl at Aiken. Aiken, June 2.?Elliott Jackson, a negro of about 35 years of age, captured by the Aiken police after a search lasting several hours late Saturday night, is in jail charged with a heinous crime. About dark Saturday evening the 13-year-old daughter of a farmer who lives just outside of the city limits of Aiken was sent by her mother to a store near their home and on the edge of what is known as "Baptist Bottom," a negro settlement, in the lower part of the city, for a package of coffee. The little girl went to the store, made iher purchase ar.d had started back heme when she was overtaken by the | Jackson negro, who had evidently jbten loafing about the store and saw i'her leave there alone. Although it jwas rapidly growing dark, the little ; girl suspected nothing when the negro ! srvVIro tn Titvr nnrt walked hv her sidft jun:il the negro suddenly caught hold i of her and placing his hand over her ) mouth to stflle her screams, bore her to the ground.

Crying for help, the child ran in terror back to where the lights of the store glimmered. Terror stricken, she ran into the store, followed by the negro bmte, and sought (shelter behind a negro woman, who shielding her, fought off the attacking negro with an umbrella. In the darkness the negro escaped. The police were notified by the little girl's father of the attempted assault upon his daughter, and they began a systematic search. Persons at the store were able to furnish the name of the negro. Every officer on the force was pressed into special service, but the matter was kept absolutely secret, only the police and a few others knowing of the attempted assault. A little before midnight, Officer Cleckley, who had been watching in the vicinity of the negro's home, after the house had been searched, saw a dark form moving in the weeds a few yards in the rear of the house. Approaching, he captured Jackson, who 'was unarmed. ' FORTY TEARS' SUPPLY OF ORE. F. S. Steel Has Smaller Stock Than Competitors.

The Steel corporation at the present time has only forty years' supply of ore, said Judge Gary. "Just think," he exclaimed, "only forty years' supply and the Pennsylvania Steel company has enough to I-last them 500 or 600 yea.rs and the Bethlehem has several hundred mil-1 lions of tons." Judge Gary defended the acquisition t)f the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com- j pany, which the corporation maintains ! was taken over to atop the panic of 1907 and not to eliminate the competition of a rival, as alleged by the gov eminent. The Steel corporation, he added, had to pay $3,000,000 worth of the concern's overdue debts upon taking it over, and was obliged to spend $22,000,000 to put the properties in condition.

Everything -was in readiness and the j dying man said: ? - ~ n "Put down 50 pds. ror masses ior the repose of my soul." The man scratched away, and then O'Connor said: "What next, Mr. Maloney?" "Put down 250 pds., to the Cork Orphan asylum." "What next, Mr. Maloney." "Put down 1,000 pds., for me brother Pat; he don't deserve it, but I can't carry it with me." Finallv the dying man said faintly "I think that is all I have to will." O'Connor looked at the little old bank book, and said: "No, Mr. Maloney, there's tin pounds yet." "O'Connor, put down that tin pound to spend with the bhoys at my funeral." "Mr. Maloney, shall I put it down to spend going to the funeral or coming back?"

Bishop Morison of Alabama, said at a recent luncheon in Birmingham: "Deliver me from the minister who pretends that he's a kind of matyr, the ministA who goes round with a solemn face, telling how much he sacrificed for the cause. How much he sacrificed? Why\ the average minister never sacrificed anything to become a preacher?he had nothing to sacrifice. "I am reminded of a minister who once rose at a conference and said: "'I gave up all for the Lord.' "Here the presiding elder interrupted him and said: " 'I can go you one better there, brother. You gave up all, but I gave up two awls. I was the best cobbler in Alabama before I started preaching.'
